Neiman Marcus Offers First Moller Skycar For Sale

It doesn't come easy writes "Neiman Marcus has just unveiled its 2005 Christmas Catalog of Fantasy Gifts last Tuesday, and one of the items up for purchase is the prototype M400 Skycar from Moller International (for only $3.5 million US). If you've ever dreamed of owning a Skycar, this may be your only chance." From the Skycar site: "Can any automobile give you this scenario? From your garage to your destination, the M400 Skycar can cruise comfortably at 350+ MPH and achieve up to 28 miles per gallon. No traffic, no red lights, no speeding tickets. Just quiet direct transportation from point A to point B in a fraction of the time. Three dimensional mobility in place of two dimensional immobility. No matter how you look at it the automobile is only an interim step on our evolutionary path to independence from gravity. That's all it will ever be. "

Something new...

Imagine going to DMV for that...

Lucky-*ucker: Hi, I'd like to register my Moller Sky Car.
DMV drone: What year is your Buick Skylark?
Lucky-*ucker: No, my sky car. Sky CAR!

I can see the look on the driving tester's face at license renewal. $3.5 mil and flying, it gives new meaning to "Tax and Licensing".

We should all pool our money and buy this.

I'd donate a spot in my garage and you guys can come take it for a spin any time you're in town. :)

The Moller FAQ page says they expect it within 4 years.

Forget Skycars

[TheAdventurer]

Forget Sky Cars. My dad works at a company that makes Sky Buses. And you can ride anywhere in the USA for less than a thousand dollars. These Sky Buses have comfortable seating, attendants who give you food and spill drinks on you, and even a little TV you can watch with headphones.

Yep, Boeing makes these awesome Sky Buses with wheels and everything.

One would assume...

One would assume if you can afford it, you're pretty much past the law to begin with, eh?

Re:Comfortable Seating?!

My hip bones don't rub the armrests in coach. I'm also a healthy weight.

2) Get 100 PWMANB to give you 75.000.000$.
3) Get 400 PWMANB to give you 200.000.000$.
4) Put your 349.625.000$ in a guaranteed fund, to get 1% a year (as a minimum) for three years.
5) Wait for three years.
6) Return the 349.625.000$ to the 575 PWMANB, claming that the prototype is not ready/the FAA did not want them/a lobby from other company pressed to get it banned.
7) Keep the 3.495.250 yearly of interest earned $$$$.
8) Claim that you are getting your ultimate prototype for 2013....

Anyone wants to give me a deposit so I can claim their terrain at the Moon when I become its emperor??? Refund granted!

Flying cars...

[Nick Driver]

We've already had a Flying Car [thedukesofhazzard.net] since 1979.

Screw the Flying Car

[camusflage]

I'm waiting for the more environmentally friendly Hoverbike to be released!
